You know, lots of times big giant news stories are total bummers: Catastrophes, attacks, blunders. But today is not one of those days. Today, there's a big giant news story that's full of love and happiness and rainbows: The Supreme Court ruled in favor of gay marriage—not once, but twice.

The nitty gritty: Ever since March, the Supreme Court has been deciding whether the Defense of Marriage Act (which allowed the federal government to deny marriage benefits to legally married homosexual couples) is Constitutional, and whether the defense of Proposition 8 (California's state ban on gay marriage) is valid. And today they ruled that they're not. So now married gay couples get the same treatment from the federal government that married straight couples do, and in California, all kinds of fabulous weddings can get back underway.

It's all a little bit complicated, for sure, but what it comes down to is this: The government is starting to reflect your opinions—in a recent poll from ABC News and The Washington Post, a whopping 81% of 18-to-29-year-olds support gay marriage. And your voices have carried all the way to the Supreme Court, where the 53-and-over crowd seems to be listening. Pretty cool, huh?

Here in Teen Vogue's hometown of NYC, it just so happens to be Pride Week, and this weekend's parade is shaping up to be a doozy of a celebration. Wherever you are, we hope you grab your GBF (that's gay best friend, if you didn't already know) and join in.
